Harold Park is so named to perpetuate the 'memory of Harold Gathorne Hardy', who was a distinguished member of the Hardy family, connected with the founding and success of the Low Moor Ironworks. He died in 1811, aged 32. The park was appropriated as a Public Park under the Inclosure (Wibsey Slack and Low Moor Commons) Provisional Order Confirmation Act 1881. It was opened to the public on 19th September 1885.
The map shows a diagram of the garden and shows its physical layout. The English text is repeated in braille for visually impaired visitors.
The board with the map also has a description of the types of plants in the sensory garden.
